: #1 Ban Day

Colombia

Most of us have never held the weighty ban hammer or other mod responsibilities. We have had a whole genre of games themed around enjoying the benefits of that power without any of the actual obligations. You can let out your desire to modkill people in Fake Modding without repercussions. There's also the Fake Ban thread if that's more to your taste.

To keep things light, let's focus on behaviors rather than people in our discussion ITT for the day. Let us know: if you had absolute power, what's a pet peeve of yours that you would ban?

[mallowgeno]

Banning Luigi for wearing too much green

[StrangerCoug]

Not watching your wake after it rains.

I would ban running international mishmash month.

they've gotten away with it for far too long now.

[Pink Ball]

People who merge without using the blinkers are officially banned from driving

: Assassination Attempt Day

Bosnia and
Herzegovina

Have you been wondering what today was going to entail? So in Mish Mash, being assassinated is defined as having your posts sandwiched by someone else. And no, you cannot defend yourself by double-posting. Normally, people sign up for an Assassin game anonymously and then are provided certain targets to seek out.

Today, I would like to invite y'all to some friendly competition. Here are the details:
1. For our one-day event, you may try to assassinate someone in any thread falling under Discussion or Other Forum Games. That would include this thread!
2. Post ITT with the thread ID #, post #s, and the name of your victim to score a point for assassinating them. (The thread ID is what comes after the "t=" at the end of the thread's URL. Also, I prefer no quotes as proof since some forums may be non-indexed! Definitely do not quote non-indexed forums).
3. The

last

post of the post sandwich should be time-stamped after my Assassination Attempt Day post.
4. Victims should be unique; you won't earn any points if someone else already claimed your same victim.
5. You will lose 1 point if you get assassinated yourself. If egregious, I also reserve the right to dock points as a penalty from people claiming targets inaccurately!
6. Make sure to follow any forum rules regarding spam, etc.

Example: Klick assassinated Cheetory6 in thread ID 90488 in Mafia Discussion (post #0-2), but wouldn't gain points for it in this event because of the timestamp of post #2.

[Cheery Dog]

That was a fun game.

I know Cheery is going to assassinate me here but...

: I jigsaw, I jigconquered Day

Guyana

Like jigsaw puzzles? They can make or break you in a LSG; just ask Vash! Jigsaw Planet has some fun options if you want to try one today. Recommending the "ghost" button in the bottom-left area under the puzzle pieces to save time.

Mountain Lake
Turtle
Cat

[Silverclaw]

Vash, do you have any stories you want to tell the class?

[D3f3nd3r]

Been a minute since I've done a good jigsaw

: Pukebox Hero Day

Pakistan

If Pukebox made you think of our friend schadd_, you were very right. He is notable in Mish Mash partly because he has bravely challenged anyone and everyone to take him on at Dominion. Do we have any new challengers? Consider it today. Maybe we can brainstorm some pro strats here.

: Riddle Me This Day

Latvia

Do you like riddles? Looks like we were really into them around 2010. Then, several years later, we had an Umineko-inspired Murder Riddles trend. Not too sure about the latter just because I haven't watched the anime yet and don't really want spoilers in case I ever do, but it looks interesting at a glance.

I am inviting y'all to get vintage today. I have posted a riddle in the spoiler tag below. Feel free to post your own riddle, or to try to guess the answers to any riddles that have been posted.

Spoiler:

What goes up and down but doesn’t move?

[Haschel Cedricson]

The stock market

?

[mallowgeno]

a thermometer?

[Pink Ball]

A ladder, or stairs

[usesPython]

An escalator

[Thestatusquo]

Spoiler: The Boring Answer

Stairs

Spoiler: The Exciting Answer

Made u look

[Ariel]

Shea and Pink Ball got what I was going for but I liked the alternative answers. Anyone have a new riddle for us?

: Predict the Future Day

Nauru

Did you know that the Whole Sort of General Mish Mash is a great place to flex your prophesying skills? Keep an eye out for opportunities to make predictions about sports, politics, TV shows and (simulated) investments! Or, perhaps you have an idea for our next topic - even as bold as 3022 Sci-fi Baseball.

To honor this tradition, please post at least one prediction here. We'll try to remember to check back on all of them a year from now!
